In the summer of '92 we sent Blue Edwards, Eric Murdock, and the 23rd pick to Milwaukee for Jay Humphries and Larry Krystkowiak. I was like 7 at the time and remembered not liking the trade. Blue came off his third season averaging 12.6 points. Eric Murdock was our first round pick from the year previous (I had his rookie card pictured below FTW).

Jay Humphries was going to be 30 and had just averaged 14 ppg. And Larry Krystkowiak, well, the only thing notable about him is that he has been coaching the U. Larry played one year with us and we let him go as a free agent. Jay played 2.5 unimpressive seasons with us until we ended up trading him to Boston for... Blue Edwards. So we ended up having Blue Edwards to show for that trade, no Eric Murdock, and no 23rd pick. Eric went on to score 14.4 ppg, 15.3 ppg, and 13 ppg in the following three years for Milwaukee after the trade.

The 23rd pick? Not that notable. Milwaukee selected Lee Mayberry, who had a 7 year career. Unknown who we would have selected had we retained the rights to that pick. Who did GSW pick right after Mayberry was selected? None other than Latrell Sprewell. Could he have been our Jordan stopper?

Thanks, Layden.

More likely would have been our Sloan Choker

I was going to mention that he probably never would have choked Sloan. For whatever reason, I had remembered him being suspended for the season but it looks like it was fairly brief. Was going to joke that he could have saved more money without the suspension and therefore wouldn’t have commented during the lockout that he was just trying to put food on the table.
 
That would have been one helluva fight. Sloan is probably a guy who gouges an eye or rips a cheek.

I always hated how the Jazz seemed to draft a Euro player and never signed them to save money.

Tomic and that other guy with the initials KK (forget his name). Who else?
 
Hornacek once said that he would win a fight with Sloan but would definitely lose at least one teste.

You did all that analysis at 7? Impressive.

Yes. The difference between me now and me then is that when I was 7 there was no online forum to platform my ideas.

Why didn't you just cure cancer? Don't hold back man.

I bet Spree would’ve killed himself for Sloan. PJ’s a douche.

This. Has anyone actually heard Carlesimo speak? I hate to make a joke, but watching it tends to contextualize Spre's actions a little.

I hated the trade as a kid too, Murdock and Edwards were good for the Bucks.

I remember my family calling Larry Krystkowiak "Krisco" like Crisco because the ball would slip out of his hands like they were covered with shortening
